In Haiti, it’s still a big challenge to feed the population. The country fails toproduce enough food and imports more than 50% for the population’s needs. Inits current state, the agriculture sector cannot serve the needs of the people.50% of urban Haitians are unemployed. 2.5 millions live in extreme poverty. Assuch, malnutrition affects a large portion of the population.

supported the foudation by financing 3 street schools in the transition to becoming

Nutrition Action through Agriculture for sustainability.

Based on their nutrition, we focus on the agriculture

to fight the malnutrition and socio-economic situation

and to empower the communities we serve.

Page 13: On field experience in Nutrition Actions

Working with the community is facing the problem.

We first ensure that the population has access to school, clean water, food and

light.

To improve their agriculture capabilities, we distribute bags of fertilizer to the

families and train them. With these acts, they are increasing their resources to

satisfy the needs of their families and sustain their economical balance.
